Certifications

The Building Performance Institute (BPI) is the nation's leading building science accreditation organization. The "house as a system" philosophy - which looks at a building's various components (building envelope, attic, basement, combustion equipment, ventilation sources) and the interrelationship between them to maximize a home's performance. This approach leads to greater energy efficiency, but perhaps more importantly to buildings that simply work better. A home that has been analyzed and upgraded from a whole-house standpoint is more durable, healthier, more comfortable, and more energy efficient.

The Building Performance Institute certifies individual practitioners as having the knowledge and skills to diagnose and fix home energy proglems. Members of our team hold individual certification in all four of the single family home disciplines -

"I was worried that the promised savings weren't going to be real - that I'd be stuck with the loan payment and not enough savings to offset it.
But the savings were more than what was promised. I even run my thermostat warmer than before and I still get the savings."

Testimonials

K. Dorant, Parsippany I’m a do-it-yourself guy. Recently I installed a new hot water heater. When the audit team from Home Energy Matters did the safety check they discovered I made several errors that decreased the efficiency of the heater and created a potential safety hazard. That safety discovery paid for the audit before they even looked for energy inefficiencies. You guys really know what you’re doing.
